Football or Soccer, is one of the oldest sports around and there has been many wonderful games. What are your greatest memories of the beautiful game... What players do you admire... What do you think the future holds... Tell me all...
The best moment was when I was about 6 years old I went to the Mineirão Stadium (in Belo Horizonte, Brazil) for the first time. The feeling of the crowd singing and jumping up and down the stands was incredible.
The worst moment has to be when Zico missed a penalty in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals against France in the second half. And then the match ended up going to PKs and Brazil lost. =(
Good way to start a blog. Keep posting. Write more!
My favorite Football moment was either, Ricky Villa's goal in the 1981 F.A Cup final. Where he danced through entire Manchester City defense, on his way to scoring the most famous goal ever scored at the old Wembley.
Or Gazza's free kick in the 1991 F.A Cup Semi-Final (The first ever Semi at Wembley) against Arsenal, when legendary commentator Barry Davis famously said; "is Gascoigne going to have a crack? He is you know! Oh i say...BRILLIANT... That is schools boys own stuff."
Undoubtedly... that is without question, my all time favorite memory of any game... and will live with me forever, till the day i die.
Yep, two of the best moments in our Clubs history...Thanks for the posts guys keep em coming...
Standing in the KOP watching Celtic in the UEFA Cup 2003. Good pal had got me a ticket and I had spent the day in the company of the red half of the city.
Walking through Shankleys Gates was a hair standing on the back of the experience. If you love fitba' (but have no reason to hate LFC) you would understand.
That did not compare though the feeling I got when John Hartson scored a 25 yard screamer to put us 2-0 up and into the semi final of the UEFA Cup.
I danced around the Kop like an 80's raver on a strong E.
Other moment....
Well, Henrick Larssons last game at Celtic Park. He scored wie 10 mins to go and the roof nearly got blown off the place.
I will admit I blubbed like a wean. The man is a Legend. I don't think I will ever see or love a player like him again.
Thanks LOTW, i admired Larsson when he was at Celtic, was a great player, and a true legend...he was at Old Trafford for 3 months and the fans loved him, and wanted him 2 sign permantly
RTC
He is the only player I know that wound doon his career at Barcelona (where he won the Champs League) and Man Yoo...
He was linked back with Celtic...would you want him back, despite his age.
this will be slightly biased but istanbul 2005 for obvious reasons for a liverpool fan, but that whole champions lge was special for liverpool. liverpool vs arsenal in the champions league at anfield this year was a super game. the chelsea vs tottenham and chelsea vs aston villa 4-4 draws this season. larsson was a great striker scored some brilliant goals.
im not much of a celtic fan but i was crushed when porto squeezed past them in the uefa cup final 03. russia against sweden and holland in euros was quite special. barnsleys fa cup run this year was outstanding, sorry for the long read, ill come back with more haha
Thanx Ciaran, is that your name, yeah Liverpool cause alot of surprises in the CL and are a great Cup team.
my favourite memory of the game is an english man, the 1966 world cup, a great hatrick and a great victory against our biggest international rivals, my favourite recent moment, was west ham vs liverpool fa cup final, everyone though west ham had no chance, but they went 2-0 up, unfortunately they didn't win, but they did good, and a spectacular goal from steven gerrard, no one else could have finished that.
I have to say the best team moment for me was España winning this last Euro Cup. There was so much on the players' shoulders, but they came through, winning in style and against many of the norms in modern football.
My best individual moment was watching Messi do that insane run against Getafe in Camp Nou in April 2007. It ended in a goal. The 'Maradona Run'.
Who remembers George Weah's solo goal for Milan? It's up there with Maradona's solo goal in Mexico 86.

Hi Adam you have a fantastic blog. The player that i admire now is Cristiano Ronaldo. I Think he is a fantastic player and i think he entry in the story of soccer. HI Rob
Thierry Henry and his goal against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the Champions League last 16 first leg in 2006.
2 players i admire and have kept there selves free from most things that can ruin a players career are ryan giggs and paul scholes probally the manager ferguson has had a lot to do with that. the champions league final between bayern munich and man utd was one of the best finals to see the faces of the german side showed how much the result meant to them
Well, football of my country is not very good but I love my team Deportivo Saprissa. In 2005 classify to Global Clubs in Japan and went on 3 team in the world.
We play with Sydney FC, the famous Liverpool and won third place against Al-Ittihad. For Costa Rica and the fans of Saprissa are heroes who came to nobody else could.
Also one of our young players named Cristian Bolanos won a place among the Top 3 of the tournament alongside Rogério Ceni (Brazil) and Steven Gerrard (England)

My favorite game was El Clasico in March of 2007 at Camp Nou, I still remember that game it was one of the most exciting games I have seen. Barcelona and Real Madrid had both just gotten knockedd out of the Champions League, each with something to prove and it showed. Barcelona played the 2nd half with 10 players because Oleguer got a red card at the end of the 1st half. The game ended 3-3 with Messi scoring a hat trick tying the game in stoppage time. It was everything that I think about when I think about the beautiful game. I still have that game recorded, it was so much passion in that game :D
The worst moment for me was Heysel 1985.!The best moment was, of course, Zidane,s goal 2002.in CL final against Leverkusen!
